Servanthood Series

Servanthood is the only godly leadership the Bible teaches. Leadership through domination, manipulation and control are considered the spirit of witchcraft, and of course, releases the wrong spirit.

I. People will not go along with you until they get along with you.

a. Sell yourself.

b. Message is always filtered through the messenger.

c. Bond with people.

d. When people believe in you and believe in the vision, they will buy in.

II. The same buy in you need from people is the same buy in God needs from you.

a. God never gives His resources out before the time.

b. God does not give you the resources at the time that He gives you the vision. God only ask for obedience and then He gives resources to the level of your obedience. (Isaiah 1:19-20)

c. You keep serving, you keep moving and God will keep supplying.

III. Questions:

a. Have I really bought into God?

b. Have people bought into me?

c. Have I bought into people?

IV. Jesus loved and served people (John 8:1-11). Two leadership models: Secular and Spiritual (John 8:23).
